NO RESERVE----

I purchased this VWThing in St. Petersburg. FL.   in 1992-

 The original owner was a member of the family of the St. Petersburg. FL. O'Brien Motors. located at 4650 34 St. N> St. Pete. FL. the local VW dealer. ( SEE Photos of original sales receipts) 

The vehicle entered USA in Jacksonville. FL.  Trucked to Tampa to Lyndell Volkswagen. then transferred to the  St. Pete Dealership where some dealer changes were made. There they installed the Air Conditioning system.   The Compressor and other components are included.  they also installed the glove compartment and the front tow bar. The rear spare tire was added by my son in law.
History-I had the VW to tow with my Winnebago- then my daughter got married and her husband fell in love with the "VW" he had it for about three years - he had it painted from original White. to Ceylon Beige- a very expensive paint job- and he installed a CD player. and the rear spare tire hardware-  and a new floor pan. and convertible top.   He bought some lattice wooden floor mat. plus a Sony CD player with 4 HD speakers. you can play your MP player also.  There is no rust-( see under chassis photo).  and runs like a champion.  
Well. Garage space became a problem for him. so about a year ago I inherited the "THING" back and I have kept in the garage - I kept the 1992 receipts of some of the original repairs. and my son in law did the same.  The air conditioner is not working since it  needs the belt and the two long hoses from the front to the compressor. - In reality I never used the AC. since I hardly used the windows.
The windows are the original ones. they have been fixed a couple of times but they keep the water out. (see photos) We have most of the early repairs receipts - SEE PHOTOS

SOLD AS IS.  NO GUARANTEE  LOOK AND ASK QUESTIONS  - NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT_ NO RUST THIS IS ONE OF A KIND +ORIGINAL JACK AND TOOL KIT _ ALSO Convertible top Guard and cover - original.  ORIGINAL and Unique map light inside the glover box .  The car was not detailed for the photos.  it will be waxed and cleaned after auction.  NOTE.  IT CAN BE  DRVEN. or  TOWED  HOME
